Hi Folks!
Just wanted to introduce myself into the group.
Diagnosed on 26/03/2020 with Rectal Adenocarcinoma (T4 N2b MX) with a possibility of Liver & Lung metastasis. Cancer also locally advanced with involvement of seminal vesicles anteriorly.
Loop Colostomy performed on 1st April 2020, discharged from Hospital on 5th April.
Awaiting consultation with oncologist.
Hi Nicky
Good to hear from you too 
.
I've just read 'your story' and WOW what a great inspiring attitude you have. I'm sorry to hear that you, as you put it in your own words are incurable, I hope you do well on your upcoming chemo and that they are able to perform Ablation therapy on Trevor.
I also tend to think of the worse case scenario, but the uncertainty is rather frustrating. I'm waiting on my first Oncology appointment to find out more. Chemo/Radiotherapy was mentioned when I got my results back from my Colonoscopy, (long term oral chemo/radio) but nothing has been confirmed. I'm sure my Oncology appointment will be enlightening! My rectal tumor is the biggest one, liver and lung are presumed at the minute to be a possibility (CT/MRI showed apparent shadowing on Liver and possible spots in Lungs). Again thinking worse case scenario and anything that they may do will be a bonus.
Taking each day as it comes so far (with a smile) - in recovery from my recent Colostomy. GOSH, rough arn't they!?! Feeling battered but recovering well.
Thanks again for the inspiration and reaching out and saying "Hi"
Enjoy that Gin & Tonic!!
All the best for now & the future
Mark
